Check if two values deeply match

deepMatch(object, example)

All properties and nested objects mentioned in the example are required to be present in object.

// two objects that look exactly the same
deepMatch({ a: 1, b: 2 } }, { a: 1, b: 2 }); // true
 
// additional properties on the left-hand side are ignored
deepMatch({ a: 1, b: 2 } }, { a: 1 }); // true
 
// everything on the right-hand side is required
deepMatch({ a: 1 } }, { a: 1, b: 2 }); // false
 
// same for arrays
deepMatch([1, 2, 3], [1, 2]); // true
deepMatch([1, 2, 3], [3, 4]); // false

Regular expressions and functions in the example are run against the corresponding values in the object:

deepMatch('aaa', /a+/); // true
deepMatch('bbb', /a+/); // false
deepMatch(['aaa', 'bbb'], [/a+/]); // true
deepMatch(['aaa', 'bbb'], [/a+/, /b+/]); // true
deepMatch(['aaa', 'ccc'], [/a+/, /b+/]); // false
deepMatch([1, 2, 3], [v => v === 1]); // true
 

Rules

Values are compared according to the following rules:

  • Identical values always match.
  • Values of different types never match.
  • Values that are no objects only match if they are identical (see above).
  • Null values (which are also objects) only match if both are null.
  • Arrays match if all items in the example match.
  • Objects match if all properties in the example match.
